Are you dreaming of a perfect smile? Porcelain veneers in Clyde, OH, might be the solution you’ve been looking for! Dr. Aric Kuehner works with local dental labs to create these thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality porcelain.
Veneers enhance the appearance of your teeth by improving their shape, color, and size. Unlike a dental crown that covers the entire tooth, veneers only cover the front surface. Porcelain veneers are a durable cosmetic dental treatment that blends in with your teeth for a natural look.
Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are a great option for improving your smile. If you want to change your smile line, veneers are a simple and effective way to improve how your teeth look. Here are the top reasons why our patients choose veneers.
Natural Look
Porcelain veneers are designed to look just like real teeth. They reflect light in a way that makes them almost impossible to tell apart from your natural teeth. This helps create a smooth, even smile that looks completely natural.
Durability
With good care, porcelain veneers can last for many years. They are strong and made to handle everyday activities like talking, eating, and smiling. Veneers are also stain-resistant. They’ll stay white and bright longer than natural teeth.
Versatility
Veneers can fix many different cosmetic problems. Dental veneers treat stained, chipped, slightly crooked, or teeth that have small gaps between them. Instead of needing several treatments, veneers can often solve multiple issues at once.
The Veneer Process
At Dr. Aric Kuehner’s dental practice in Clyde, OH, we are committed to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams. Your journey begins with a personalized consultation where Dr. Kuehner takes the time to understand your goals and expectations. He’ll conduct a thorough examination of your teeth that may include X-rays or impressions to ensure a perfect fit.
Preparation
Once your goals are clear, Dr. Kuehner will carefully prepare your teeth. He etches the tooth and removes a small amount of enamel to make room for the veneers. This step is important for a natural and comfortable fit.
Impressions
After preparation, he takes a precise impression of your teeth. He sends this to a top-tier dental laboratory where your custom veneers are crafted with precision and care. Dr. Kuehner will also provide you with temporary veneers to protect your teeth.
Final Veneers
When your veneers are ready, Dr. Kuehner will expertly bond them to your teeth. We ensure the perfect fit and color and make any necessary adjustments before permanently cementing them in place. Dr. Kuehner uses a special light to harden the cement, securing your new smile.

Patient Review
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get just one veneer?
Absolutely. If you have a single chipped, discolored, or oddly shaped tooth, one veneer can match it perfectly to the surrounding teeth. Dr. Kuehner is especially careful with single veneers to ensure the color and shape blend in naturally. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.
Will my teeth be damaged if I decide not to keep veneers later?
This is a thoughtful question. Veneers do require removing a thin layer of enamel, so the process is not reversible. However, patients rarely want to go back because they are a lasting improvement. If down the road a veneer ever needs replacement, Dr. Kuehner can easily refresh it. Most patients enjoy their veneers for decades without looking back.
Do veneers stain?
Porcelain is highly stain-resistant. Unlike natural teeth, veneers won’t absorb stains. That said, the bonding material that attaches them can discolor slightly over many years, which is why regular cleanings are important. But overall, veneers stay noticeably brighter than untreated teeth.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth without braces?
For mild crowding or small gaps, yes. Veneers can create the appearance of perfectly aligned teeth by reshaping their size and contour. This is often called “instant orthodontics.” For more significant misalignment, Dr. Kuehner may recommend Invisalign first, then veneers to perfect the details. He’ll always be honest about what will give you the healthiest result.
What if a veneer chips or falls off?
It’s rare, but it can happen from biting something unusually hard or from an accident. If a veneer chips or comes loose, don’t panic. Save the piece if you can, and call our Clyde office right away. Dr. Kuehner can often repair or replace it quickly. This is another reason why choosing an experienced dentist matters.
How soon can I have my new smile?
The entire process typically takes two to three visits over about two to three weeks. Your first visit is your consultation and tooth preparation. While the dental lab makes your veneers, Dr. Kuehner places temporary veneers so you can smile confidently. Your final visit is when your permanent veneers are bonded in place.
Still have questions? We know choosing a cosmetic treatment is a big decision. Dr. Kuehner takes time during every consultation to answer every question, no matter how small.
